Where Was This Historical Photo Taken in Three Village?

According to the Three Village Historical Society, that provided us with this picture, the photo was taken in the mid-twentieth century and "within this block many of the early storefront buildings still exist today, but with changes to their facades."

Do you recognize the building in this historical photo? In the comments below tell us where you think it was taken, what kind of business this picture shows and what occupies the space now. Check back later this week for the answer.

Among the goals of the Three Village Historical Society in its mission is to nurture the public appreciation for the area's historical heritage and develop educational resources that provide access to the Society's store of knowledge.

Some upcoming events include walking tours and lectures on local history. Walking tours are $3 for members and $5 for non-members. Visit the website for a full list of walking tours at www.tvhs.org or call the TVHS office for more information at (631) 751-3730.
